Swagman is going Power Time Trialling on Saturday. We used to do this when we were at SoPYC, but haven't done it since moving to RPYC.
It will be some fun crashing the Power Boaties party. Any, yachty friends of Swagman who want to come along, we will be departing RPYC Pen E27 at 1300 for a 1401 start off Claremont YC.
Raft up afterwards (post 1600), and then head back to RPYC at some point.
Drinks (BYO) and nibbles, and fun on the boat while we are competing and then good fun afterwards.
Let me know if you are interested.
Currently we have Vera Waldby & myself, and Huckleberry Phil.

If you have come here from www.swagmansailing.com, then you see you have been re-directed. This is legitimate while I update the original website, because it has been out of date for a long time, and there is more up to date information here on Facebook. Thanks very much.....

Perfect weather expected for Friday evening and the first twilight cruise of the season! The first start is at 1800, with food also available from 1800 for thos...e not sailing. There will be live entertainment, lawn games and drink specials available. We hope to see you at the Club for a great evening!

Swagman has just nominated for this event in Fremantle Harbour. Looking for a couple of competitive S&S34’s to add to the show - it would be great to make it look competitive to the public as well as the spectacle part of it.

Great photo thanks to Lee from True South. Good days racing; tried for a pin end start on port tack, but the rest of the fleet where early and came down the line. So we had to duck a bunch of boats tack onto starboard to give way and get buried. But, we were able to tack back onto port after a couple minutes to the favoured right hand side, and ended up 2nd at the windward mark. Stayed 3rd or 4th most of the afternoon going backwards & forwards with True South. We had two... new graduates from RPYC’s extremely successful Helm & Crew Sail Training course - John & Kendall. They did really well and will be great assets to whoever ends up picking them up as permanent crew. So, 4th on Club handicap & 4th on AMS Heat 1. Well done Swagman team. Looking forward to competing in FSC’s Harbour Classic for Maritime Day in Fremantle Harbour on Saturday. Also, first twilight of the season on Friday night - so lets hope for some good weather.

A good first 2wks of the summer sailing season for the Swagman team - 2nd on the Clubs Opening Day & 1st & Fastest last Saturday. Well done team. Means that we blow our handicap early in the season; but Swagman doesn’t know hard to sail any differently but to sail the best race possible while still having fun.

The WA IRC State Championships, hosted this year by Royal Perth Yacht Club & Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club out of the Annexe, are rapidly approaching on the w...eekends of 25 & 26 Nov and 2 & 3 Dec. Plenty of variety in this 7-race series, comprising a mix of windward-leeward and passage races, as well as an evening at TCYC in Rockingham.

In a new initiative, a ‘Season Briefing’ will be held on Tuesday the 10th of October at 1830 in the River Room. The briefing will provide an overview of the 201...7/18 sailing season, including important dates, new season changes in the Red Book, safety and race management information. You will also be able to ask any questions you may have about matters relating to sailing at the Club. Please note that bookings are not required for the briefing, however we recommend booking with the Wardroom on 9423 5511 if you would like to make a reservation for Tuesday night dining. Simply let the staff know you will be attending the season briefing.

Swaggie went back in the water after the weekend anti-fouling from a few weekends ago. On the Sunday I tried to free up a seized toilet outlet ball valve with no luck. So we took him out overnight last night to replace it - thanks to Paul Spencer & Spencer Marine. Lets see how this one lasts given the last one was only 2yrs old. The smaller intake valve that was replaced at the same time 2yrs ago is working fine.

Royal Perth Yacht Club joins forces with Swan River Sailing, Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, South of Perth Yacht Club and Australian Sailing to offer Discover...

Best of all, these experiences are both completely FREE! See the poster below and the Boat Show website for more details.

Swagman 10sec's off the start, and then did well until the skipper tested depth soundings on Applecross Bank and lost. Lost about 20 boat lengths, but recovered to finish 7th over the line & 5th on handicap after a great battle with Jamie Mercer & Big Diamond all the way to the finish, with Big Diamond finishing 1-1/2 boat lengths in front. A great fun battle. Thanks team Swagman - Vera, Grant, Mark, Alicja & guests for the day Paula & Juan. Oh and by the way for those that weren't at results I did buy the bar for my misdemeanor.
